"Lalu and Nitish are trying to divert the election. Since the Constitution was drafted and formalised, the Bharatiya Janata Party has been a supporter of reservation. Lalu is trying to get media attention by speaking rubbish," Shah said at a party rally here.

"Lalu ji is saying that if the BJP comes to power here, then, they will remove reservation. Don`t follow what he says. Lalu ji is telling all of you a white lie. The BJP is a supporter of reservation and we don`t want any change of it," he added.
